HERE IS A SAMPLING OF MORE GREATS.  I LOVE THE DUTCH ARTISTS.  CARL BLOCH  IS MY ALL TIME FAVORITE.  HE DEVOTED MOST OF HIS WORK TO THE LIFE OF THE SAVIOR. HE WAS BORN ON MAY 23 (AN INSTANT CONNECTION!) STUDIED AND LEARNED FROM REMBRANDT.  BLOCH'S PARENTS WANTED HIM TO ENTER A "RESPECTABLE PROFESSION"-- AN OFFICER IN THE NAVY. BUT IT WAS NOT TO BE.  THANK GOODNESS!



MY FAVORITE OF ALL.  I HAVE COPIES OF THIS IN ALL MY SCRIPTURES AND HAND IT OUT EVERY YEAR TO MY STUDENTS.  LOVE IT!  LOVE IT. 

"IF THERE IS AN ELYSIUM, WHERE THE GIANT, RICH, WARM AND NOBLE ARTIST SOULS MEET, THERE CARL BLOCH WILL SIT AMONG THE NOBLEST OF THEM ALL!"
